abstract = {We present a visually grounded model of speech perception which projects spoken
utterances and images to a joint semantic space. We use a multi-layer recurrent
highway network to model the temporal nature of spoken speech, and show that it
learns to extract both form and meaning-based linguistic knowledge from the
input signal. We carry out an in-depth analysis of the representations used by
different components of the trained model and show that encoding of semantic
aspects tends to become richer as we go up the hierarchy of layers, whereas
encoding of form-related aspects of the language input tends to initially
increase and then plateau or decrease.},
